Description from the seller
OKO - Miror designed by Oskar Zięta - inox steel, fi 36 cm
Shipped new, from stock.
OKO is a high-tech sculptural abstraction that shows the true nature of steel, a material that Oskar Zięta transforms into a refined object, subtly diffusing light. OKO owes its delicate structure and durability to the FiDU technology, based on free deformation caused by high internal pressure. Its round, pure and impeccable structure creates endless possibilities for interpretation. OKO is at the same time a sophisticated futuristic sculpture, a distorted mirror, an intriguing decoration, a steel canvas where images appear and vanish at the same time.
OSKAR ZIĘTA is an architect, artist and process designer, and the CEO of Zieta Studio. He holds a doctorate from the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zürich, where he worked as a research assistant at the department of CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design). At ETH and as part of his own company, founded in 2010, he carried out research, development and implementation of steel stabilization technologies such as FIDU and 3+. Author of the iconic PLOPP stool (2008) and other inflated steel projects on the verge between sculpture and functional objects.
Zięta began experimenting with site-specific sculptures designed with the use of the parametric design methodology in 2006 with his Seahorse. Nevertheless, it was not until 2010, when he designed his first larger-scale works: the formally different, but structurally familiar Architonic Concept Space and The Blow & Roll installation for the Victoria & Albert Museum. Since then, he has been constantly experimenting with scale and form, as well as with the social and aesthetic potential of steel sculptures.
Oskar Zięta is also the creator of the highest sculpture in the public space in Poland, WIR (Galeria Północna, Warsaw 2017), as well as NAWA, a pavilion sculpture (Daliowa Island, Wrocław 2017), which contributed to the revitalization of the surrounding urban space. In 2019, NAWA was nominated for the prestigious European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award.
Oskar Zięta’s creative activity has been repeatedly awarded with the most important awards in the field of design, including Designpreis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland Award, Red Dot and Audi Mentor Preis, as well as with a nomination for the Schweizer Design Preis. Zięta collaborated with brands such as Audi, Architonic, Ballantine’s, Pirelli, Victoria & Albert Museum, among others. His works are in the collections of the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich, the Pinakothek in Munich and the Pompidou Center in Paris.

Seller's Story
One of most forward-thinking galleries in Poland, the BB Gallery was launched in Kraków in 1997 and it has been in operation in Wrocław since 2004. It has a reputation for holding some of the most interesting exhibitions of contemporary and design art in both cities . Around 80 artists work regularly with the BB Gallery. It has had 153 exhibitions in Poland and abroad. Anita Bialic, the BB's owner, is particularly interested in the art of objects: "An object is concrete. It fills our reality. And it can be a work of art!" she declares. In its 27 years of existence, BB Gallery has made numerous contacts with young up-and-coming artists. It buys their work, helps them organize exhibits, takes care that they have access to the media, and contacts other galleries. The BB's exhibitions are always met with a buzz by Poland's art aficionados and media.
